They sure are keeping you in suspense! As you are us! Well, you got as far as Frankfurst, anyway. Hope you now made it to Croatia.

These small trees have a beautiful aroma and I don't think they smell much like peanut butter. The strangest thing about these Clerodendrums is that if you do the least bit of digging underneath them then they will send up dozens of runners but if you don't disturb the earth they won't. I've never owned one but this is what I've heard.

I'm glad you didn't include the photo of me coming out of the Honey Bucket.

Bon Voyage guys ! Looking forward to following along with your adventures.

Humor? There’s humor in this?

Actually, I hardly need them - it’s one of the problems. I had lens replacement after cataract surgery years ago, and most of the time I ride with them off.

I had a good laugh, love that you don't lose your sense of humor along with your glasses. Maybe you could have your eyes lasered so you don't need glasses?

Nope. The storage locker is in the Pearl District and the bikes are downtown, about two blocks from the courthouse. Just as well they’re in the dark, where they won’t see the chaos and riots outside.

Stretan put!

Look forward to news of your (and your PCR tests!) safe arrival.

They will miss you!

Is the bike locker close to where your other stuff is stored?

I have a few times but always going the other direction, climbing toward the mountain. I never really noticed it from that direction.

Just attached the GBO to your new glasses with a medium-sized chain.

We used to ride or walk by that all the time.

Mt. Tabor is one of my favorite places in Portland. Well, anywhere for that matter.

Thanks, Tricia. Looking good so far! It will take a force majeure to stop us at the this point.

Thanks, Patrick. Looks like this show is really going to happen!
